Basketball at the Teachers College has taken the lime light in the field of sports this year. The Bulldogs, thanks to lllinois, are the strongest team that the College has ever had. The M.l.A.A. Championship was, for the last several years, thought of but never taken. This year the Bulldogs ripped and tore their way through to the Championship with only one defeat, by Springfield. Dodd, an expert ball handler and shot, and Gallatin, center and tipster artist, w e r e chosen All-Conference. Lewis was picked for the second team, and Semanek and Pink were given honorable mention in the All-Confen ence election. These were the most players e V e r picked and mentioned for Kirksville in the M.l.A.A. election. REBOUND!

The coaches, Boyd King and limmy Dougherty, d e s e r v e a tremendous amount of credit for coaching and con- trolling such an expert group of ball players as these. The Bulldogs, through their great ability as a team, received the coveted honor of playing in the N.l.A.B. in Kan- sas City, an honor which has never before been bestowed on the Hirksville Cagers. They won their first two games, defeating Cleveland, Missis- sippi, 76-58, and their second game, Whittier, California, 5l-49, and lost their third game to Flagstaff, Arizona, 59-55, which eliminated them from the N.l.A.B., but not without a gallant strug- gle from the Bulldogs.
